The Artificial Superintelligence Alliance launched ASI:Chain's public DevNet — a blockDAG Layer 1 purpose-built for autonomous AI agents. Here's what the MeTTa kernel means for decentralized AI infrastructure, why Ocean Protocol's exit matters, and how ASI Alliance stacks up against Bittensor and Render in the race to become the default AI agent chain.

Trump's April 2026 tariff shock exposed a hard truth: Bitcoin sold off 46% from its ATH while gold hit record highs above $5,300. Here's why the 'digital gold' narrative fails in the short term — and what $18.7B in institutional ETF inflows says about the long-term thesis.
Bitcoin fell 22% in Q1 2026 — its worst quarter since 2018 — then recovered 36%+ to $91K in days. The story behind the bounce is about $150B in ETF AUM permanently altering Bitcoin's market structure.
